Subject: mm: fadvise: move 'endbyte' calculations to helper function
Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2023 18:21:49 +0530
Patch series "mm: shmem: support POSIX_FADV_[WILL|DONT]NEED for shmem
files", v7.
This patchset aims to implement POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED and
POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED advices to shmem files which can be helpful for the
drivers who may want to manage the pages of shmem files on their own,
like, that are created through shmem_file_setup[_with_mnt]().
This patch (of 2):
Move the 'endbyte' calculations that determines last byte that fadvise can
to a helper function. This is a preparatory change made for
shmem_fadvise() functionality in the next patch. No functional changes in
this patch.
